Cables, Connectors, and Electronic Devices 

Henkel offers materials for two major cable application areas: Cable Production and Cable Joining. These materials are exciting to customers because they offer unique differentiation versus competitive products that give the potential to add additional functionality and/or performance.

  1. Cable production: For manufacturers of optical and low to medium power cables, Henkel provides gels, hotmelts, and functional coatings.  
  2. Cable Joining: For manufacturers and companies installing cables, Henkel provides hotmelts for heat shrink applications, Butyle adhesive strips for wire harness cable and mechanical joining, as well as potting, gasketing and Sonderhoff solutions for enclosure sealing and bonding.

Connectors and electronic devices (i.e. PCB assemblies) provide the basis for many electrical functions. PCBs span a range of complexity – from simple single- and double-sided substrates to multilayered as well as from rigid to flexible substrates. With every advance achieved in electronic products, connectors are incorporating increasingly complex electronics which impacts assembled components. 

Our expansive range of electronic component materials for PCB assembly includes bonding, connecting, and protection formulations that enable electrical operation and offers safeguarding for durable performance, regardless of the challenges that increasingly complex designs, densities, and end uses dictate. Henkel offers a number of PCB protection and encapsulation materials which include potting and low pressure molding product solutions as well as gasketing materials

Industrial Sensors

Industrial sensors are foundational to today’s increasingly connected world and vital to providing intelligent technology to enhance user experiences. Within industrial applications, sensors facilitate multiple functions including measurement of pressure, temperature, position, chemical, vibration, humidity, and material flow, just to name a few. In order for sensors to work as designed, high performance adhesives for electronic components are required to enable robust interconnects and to protect the devices from adverse environmental factors.

 

Henkel’s robust electronic components assembly material portfolio is used for sensor applications and within various market sectors such as consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, medical, and home appliances. Our PCB and encapsulation product portfolio includes potting and low pressure molding materials in addition to gasketing solutions for industrial sensors.

Passive Component Assembly

Board-mounted magnetic components, which include transformers and inductors, are essential for enabling constant voltage in an electronic device. There are several types of transformers, which most often allow for the distribution, transmission, and utilization of electrical power.

The effectiveness of a magnetic component is largely dependent on the integrity of its core, dampening of vibration interference, protection and reinforcement of coils, thermal control, and robust electrical interconnects. For all of these critical elements, Henkel has a solution and, as a materials system, they provide unfailing performance, exceptional reliability, and dependable in-field performance. Our product solutions for passive component assembly include encapsulation, low pressure molding, and potting materials.

Henkel’s range of electrically conductive adhesives (ECA) for passive electronic components assembly provides high quality and reliable lead-free solder alternatives. The large portfolio of products offers a varying selection of cure speeds and viscosities to provide versatility and easy application and allows manufacturers to find the best electrically conductive solution to best fit their electronic component assembly and application needs.
